Great Link about getting help.  

post #1 of 6

Hi Mamas,
I read many blogs, but one I really like is Dooce (www.dooce.com). She recently posted a wonderful entry about dealing with her depression and anxiety. She has always been very open about her struggle with depression, but this particular post has gotten over a 1000 comments. Really quite amazing words written by someone who is really opening the door to try to take the stigma out of getting treatment for depression/anxiety/whatever. I've been particularly moved by this entry b/c I feel that I've been experiencing some mild-moderate depression of my own for while now. Thought I'd put this out there and hope that someone here finds it helpful:

Hope it helps, Mamas.

I'm not a fan of Dooce, but this post (linked from here; thanks Bearsmama) helped me make a call I was having a lot of trouble making. As of this evening, I'm on Valium and Prozac.

Mamaoutthere- So happy to hear that it helped you.

Dooce is not my fave blog, but I do think she's a smart writer. And I've always admired her authenticity and openness about her struggles with depression. I should have maybe made a disclaimer first about Dooce for those that don't know her. Not necesssarily a poster girl for MDC, but I thought the post was worth it enough to not worry all that.

Oh, I'm not a fan 'cause it's just not my cup o' tea. I finally learned that all that counts is what I do with my kids (I also learned to stay clear of critical threads).
